"Yes, Ye Wen is very strong and may have a chance to become the direct disciple of the family leader. But it is absolutely impossible for Sun Qiao to pass the third round of assessment, everyone just wait and see!"
Although only Ye Wen and Sun Qiao passed the second round of assessment, this made many people who were qualified and capable feel extremely unbalanced.
But thinking about it, this third round of assessment will definitely not be easy, and everyone suddenly felt a lot more sad.
Fortunately, this is not the last round of assessment, there will be a third round of assessment later.
What's more, according to the head of the family, this third round of assessment is the most difficult because he will eliminate many people.
"Brother Zhengqi, I didn't expect that in one year, you would become so strong now. It's really gratifying!" On the other side, Mu Heng and Wen Ce came to Bai Zhengqi and smiled.
"Thank you. A lot of things have indeed happened this year. It's just a pity for you just now. If you play, you can also participate in the third round of assessment." Bai Zhengqi said to the two people with great regret.
These are his friends. From a sentimental point of view, he certainly hopes that these two friends can become the direct disciples of the family master.
After all, he is now the direct disciple of the family leader, but he has not yet announced it to outsiders.
If his two friends also become the direct disciples of the family leader, then it will be more convenient for them to practice together in the future.
"It doesn't matter, even if we pass this round, it's impossible to pass the third round of assessment. Moreover, I didn't plan to play in the first place, because I can't beat you at all!" Wen Ce said with a smile.
"But it's rare to have such an opportunity in front of you. Don't you feel regretful if you just missed it?" Bai Zhengqi said.
"Without this strength, no matter how close we are to the opportunity, we will not succeed in the end. I think our current achievements may not be up to the expectations of the family leader, so there is nothing to regret about this.
If we really want to become the direct disciples of our master, we have to work harder to practice! "Wen Ce shook his head and said very freely.
It's not that they don't want to become the direct disciples of the family leader, but that they are more able to recognize the reality.
I know that no matter how hard I try this time, it will be useless, everything has already been decided.
Because they are very clear about their own strength and talents. Although they are not the worst among them, they are not the best either.
Therefore, people like them are the hardest to be favored by the family head.
"Brother Zhengqi, did the head of the family give you guidance this year?" Mu Heng asked.
They had previously guessed that Bai Zhengqi, like them, had actually received guidance and guidance from the family leader from outside, so he had improved so much in strength in just one year.
"Yes, the head of the family did give me some advice!" Bai Zhengqi nodded, but the head of the family accepted him as his direct disciple and could not say anything about it under any circumstances.
"Sure enough!" Mu Heng nodded, knowing that what he guessed was not wrong.
Otherwise, he really couldn't understand how Bai Zhengqi could improve his strength so much in just one year.
Others may not know it, but they are very good friends with Bai Zhengqi, and they naturally understand Bai Zhengqi much better than others.
Although Bai Zhengqi is indeed very talented and works very hard, his improvement over so many years can be said to be very shocking.
Bai Zhengqi's ability to reach that level of strength is already considered to be the limit. If he could improve so much strength in such a short period of time, he would have done so long ago.
But he had no choice but to do that.
So this year, only with the help of the head of the family, was it possible for him to improve his strength so much all at once.
"Brother Zhengqi, does the head of the family have any idea of accepting you as his direct disciple?" Wen Ce asked very curiously.
It was obvious from the words of the Patriarch just now that he was very disappointed with the performance of so many of them, so he thought that none of them would be selected by the Patriarch to become his direct disciples this time.
But Bai Zhengqi's performance shocked everyone, because he has changed so much this year.
Moreover, the head of the family actually brought Bai Zhengqi as their assessment standard. Obviously the head of the family was very satisfied with Bai Zhengqi, otherwise he would not have brought him here, let alone regard him as the assessment standard.
"How do I know this? The head of the family must have his own ideas!" Bai Zhengqi shook his head and said.
Although these two are his good friends, there are some things that cannot be said.
Everyone will have their own secrets, even the two of them, and he will not ask them to tell him all their secrets.
If he could tell, he would naturally tell the truth to the two of them. If you can't talk about it, even if you are the best friend, some things can only be buried in your heart forever.
"The head of the family values you so much that he even made you the standard for assessment. He is obviously very satisfied with you. Didn't he tell you that he wanted to accept you as his direct disciple?" However, Wen Ce felt a little unconvinced. .
After all, Bai Zhengqi's performance was so outstanding. Even before the family leader assessed everyone, Bai Zhengqi's performance was already very good. I believe the family leader himself knew it very well.
Therefore, they believe that if the head of the family wants to choose a direct disciple now, Bai Zhengqi should be one of them.
At least currently, only Ye Wen and Sun Qiao have passed the second round of assessment, and among them and Bai Zhengqi, Bai Zhengqi is obviously more suitable than the other two.
"Perhaps only the head of the family knows this!" Bai Zhengqi shook his head and said.
At this time, Ye Wen and Sun Qiao had followed the owner to his temporary cave.
They were very nervous, and at the same time very confused. Could the third round of assessment be conducted in the cave of the house owner?
"Master, what is the content of our third round of assessment?" Ye Wen asked.
"Do you think you are confident that you can pass the third round of assessment?" Cheng Yu looked at the two of them and smiled.
"This..." The two of them were stunned, but they didn't know how to answer.
Because after what the family leader said outside just now, they already understood that every round of assessments prepared by the family leader had a purpose.
So they were worried that this question from the head of the family would also affect whether the assessment was passed or not?
In this case, they would not dare to answer casually. If they answered incorrectly, they might lose the chance of the third round of assessment.
"Are you afraid of me?" Cheng Yu asked.
"No...no...we just...just don't know how to answer the master's words!" Ye Wen said hesitantly.
"There's nothing hard to say about this, just say whatever you think in your heart!"
"To be honest, this disciple is not very confident." Ye Wen thought for a while and said truthfully.
"I have no confidence anymore. I didn't even think that I could participate in the third round of assessment!" Sun Qiao also said honestly.
"Ye Wen, weren't you quite confident yesterday? Why have you become so unconfident today? Is it just because you lost to Bai Zhengqi?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.
"Yesterday's battle really hit me hard. I didn't expect Bai Zhengqi's strength to improve so much. Head of the family, can I ask you a question?" Ye Wen asked.
"Just ask!"
"During this year, Bai Zhengqi should have received your guidance, right?"
"His improvement in strength does have something to do with me, but it is not the most important thing. Just like you have also received my guidance, but your strength has not improved as fast as him." Cheng Yu thought for a while and said.
In fact, the reason why Bai Zhengqi's strength improved so quickly was not because of his guidance, but because he successfully practiced the Three Pill Divine Illusion Art.
"So Bai Zhengqi's talent is really high!" Ye Wen felt even more envious when he heard the head of the family say this.
His talent is actually quite good for the Cheng family, but when compared with Bai Zhengqi, he is obviously not as good as him.
If he also has Bai Zhengqi's talent, then his strength must be more than what he is now.
"Talent is very important, but it's not important either!" Cheng Yu said.
"Master, what do you mean by this?" Ye Wen asked doubtfully.
"Some things are innate and we have no way to change them. But we can change everything the day after tomorrow through our own efforts.
So don’t belittle yourselves just because your talents are not as good as others. If you feel that your talents are not as good as Bai Zhengqi’s anyway, don’t you need to practice?
There is no end to spiritual practice. Do you think Bai Zhengqi is the most talented person of your generation?
No, there is a world outside the sky and there are people outside the world. There will always be all kinds of geniuses in this world. But geniuses are only a minority after all. However, those who can become the top masters in the world may not necessarily be the ones with the best talent.
So don't always be worried about your talents. I have told you before. In fact, the fact that you can stand out from the Cheng family disciples already shows that you are better than most people.
Even if Bai Zhengqi's talent is the best in the entire Cheng family, is he the strongest person in the Cheng family? Even the strongest person in the world?
Neither.
Again, talent is very important, but it is not the only criterion that determines your strength. You are not as talented as him, but if you work harder the day after tomorrow or find better ways to improve yourself, your strength will still surpass Bai Zhengqi.
What I want to tell you two is that as a monk, never lose confidence in yourself.
Of course, this is not to tell you to be blindly confident, but to make your heart stronger. Even if you suffer some setbacks, you have to believe that they are only temporary, understand? "Cheng Yu said seriously to the two of them.
"Thank you, Master, for your advice!" The two of them were suddenly enlightened and excitedly knelt down on the ground to bow to Cheng Yu.
